I’ve watched at least 5 videos regarding this subject and your video was by far the best. You were clear and to the point and I didn’t have to watch a 5 minute clip of you running with your dog. Thank you!!!
I have the old zvox SB8380 soundbar the long one that has this ⚪️🔴 👈🏾behind it there's no HDMI behind it iam buying a charger for it as well behind the soundbar its saying right 🔴 left ⚪️ Analog input and it's saying Oprical 1 Digital input 2 and power how can I hook this up to my ROKU TV and please explain to me what I need to do brother its my very first time 👍🏾💯🏆 Thanks
You are the first person I've found to successfully explain Arc and how it allows all devices connected to the TV flow audio to the soundbar. The owners manual of my yamaha yas 207 didn't even explain it fully. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant. I got the answer/solution I needed within 1:40 of this video (my unit was set to TV speaker instead of soundbar). My partner used to do all of this techy stuff for me & my family - he was a music producer before he died suddenly at the age of 30 the week of Christmas last year 2021, and now I feel totally lost without all of his help & support. He would've worked this out in 10 seconds probably, lol 😉 But thanks to the internet/youtube & to people like you, I was not left totally helpless. So thank you SO much for this! Many blessings to you. Stay safe & well everybody 🙏❤️
After watching half a dozen videos, yours was the first to explain the ARC channel feeds multiple HDMI signals to the sound bar. I almost bought an HDMI splitter for all my devices. Thank you. Great video.
Hello Jonah! Great tutorial. I have a soundbar with HDMI ARC port but my TV doesn't have HDMI ARC port but has the normal HDMI port. Will the soundbar work fine if I connect it to my TV's normal HDMI port?
Glad you enjoyed the video! If your TV doesn't have an HDMI ARC port then no, it will not work. You will need to connect your soundbar via Digital Optical if possible. If you don't have a Digital Optical port on both, then use AUX or RCAs. Hope this helps!
Hello! Thank you so much for all that information! In my case i have a sound bar with only one HDMI port which I connected to the tv HDMI ARC and i use AT&T box connected to the tv as well in HDMI (Best). At the beginning it was working perfectly fine but now it started to have some sound issues like being suddenly cut or no sound at all! I wonder if i have it connected wrong or am I missing something! Please help!
Just bought a sound system and could not figure out how to get it to connected. Went thru the ARC then CEC steps and BOOM! We’ve got beautiful sound. Thanks for putting out videos for newbies like me!
@@vinithxr2724 i tried the red and white rca cables buncha times, no luck i even tried red white and yellow one for my nintendo. Dont know what im doing wrong..
Hi, my home theater system just has hdmi connection not ARC, but my TV has hdmi ARC, would it affect the sound quality? What is the best set up to get the best sound quality? Thanks.
So I have the nakamichi 9.2 system and neither configuration in regards to my XFINITY box is working properly. If I hook the XFINITY box directly to the sound bar I get a Dolby digital connection and it sounds great but for some reason the XFINITY box shuts off randomly hooked up this way. The other configuration of booking the XFINITY box to the tv only gives me a pcm signal, which obviously doesn’t sound as good.
Apologized if this is a silly question but if these 2020 versions of Nakamichi only handle 5.1 through hdmi then how exactly can you take full advantage of 7.2 and 9.2 when streaming movies?
How do you get full dts support then? Also your arc info contradicted? first you said using hdmi will not allow all formats then you show arc diagram again saying use hdmi input like bruh
Hi. I need some help. If I connect DVD/Blue ray player via HDMI to TV and this soundbar via digital optical cable to TV. Will soundbar work normally no matter do I watch TV or DVD player? Many thanks in advance!
You said HDMI and optical do not support the higher qualities like Dolby and DTS, so how do you get those higher qualities? Also I like Bluetooth because no wire clutter
Just connect the audio/video source directly trough HDMI input in the soundbar. Then you connect the Soudbar ARC to the TV ARC to pass the video content. CMIIW
I have a Videocon smart TV model E43EL1100 which was bought a few months back. I bought a Samsung soundbar model HW-T400 yesterday, but it is not getting connected to my videocon smart tv. The soundbar has Bluetooth, AUX & Optic options. The TV has HDMI and analog options only. I tried the AUX cable option, but it didn't work. Can you suggest the best converter that should I purchase to connect optic to TV.
I have an old LG LCD screen and I connected it to a Samsung soundbar h400/zx, with an optical cable. I have a Roku and, a cable box connected with HDMI to the Tv but when I open youtube or anything on Roku or anything from the cable box I hear some sort of cracking noise, like static. sometimes it's very strong, others barely noticeable but it's always there. It's not the soundbar because when I connect anything through Bluetooth the cracking is gone. Obviously, the audio settings on the Tv are very limited, what can I do with that cracking sound, should I connect it with the 3.5 jack and coaxial? I'm about to give up and live with the cracking noise.
My biggest concern is will the volume remote that I now have (dish remote) still be able to control the volume on a soundbar?I DO NOT want to have 2 separate remote controls.One for channels and one for volume.This may seem like a dumb question but I know basically nothing about soundbars and how they function. I have never had one as you can tell.TIA.
Any reason that a soundbar suddenly starts "buzzing" and you can only stop it by pushing the electric plug into the back more firmly to get it to stop?? Then it starts buzzing again, with static? It's a VEATOOL from Walmart, so it was cheap to start with, but I'd like it to work.
Are you familiar with Audioquest cables that have the arrow indicators? I have one connected from Apple TV to the tv with arrows towards TV, but what about a soundbar connected to the TV? Using an eArc HDMI port.
Ok if you connect all devices to av receiver, then to the TV with arc, when you stream something on the TV is the audio to the receiver still compressed? How do you get audio from the TV to the receiver to not be compressed.....
if i wanted to connect a soundbar and a portable hard drive , can i just connect the hard drive to the usb port of the tv or does it have to be connected to the soundbar
Other than lip sync issues, is there any other reasons to not use Bluetooth (or other wireless methods)? I have a Samsung TV and Soundbar that we're basically matched at purchase - same manufacture year etc... Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are the connection methods I've used so far, no sync issues but am I getting the codecs processed the same way as if I was using hdmi or optical? I'd rather not have to use HDMI as the bar itself only has a couple of hdmi ports (one of which is the arc channel) and I have several things connected as I have multiple consoles etc... so really need the hdmi ports on the TV itself. Wireless methods have helped here but now I'm wondering if I'm actually getting all the channels/codecs coming through properly.
I have a Samsung tv with HDMI ARC and optical and a Sound bar with optical. I hate using 2 remotes. Can I get a converter from amazon and convert the HDMI arc from the tv to the Optical on my sound bar to get sound and be able use my Samsung tv remote?
If I have Roku device (Roku Premiere, not Roku TV) and use the optical cable option, will the audio from the Roku as well as the TV come through a sound bar?
Have u figure this out yet? I just bought JBL sound bar 5.1but I want to connect it to my amplier Im not sure what plugs to use and my t.v don't have arc hdmi
hi i-ve got my cable box linked to my soundbar denon and to the tv and i got the message " error hdcp compatibility" , sound ok with my bluray and apple tv , only this message with my box? is there a way to avoid this error.. without hdmi splitter? thnaks
I have a sound bar that's just been sitting here for a little over a year because nobody can figure out how to hook it up! I have a Haier Roku Smart tv and a iLive HD Sound bar with Bluetooth wireless. It has the red and white Aux In plug ins, and then another Line In plug in on the end where your Source/power/volume and Pair buttons are. I'm figuring that's for an optical cable because I've used that too and never got it to work and the store REFUSES to take it back. 🤬 Your videos are very helpful. I'm really hoping you can help me with this so I can actually hear this tv! Thanks!
man i have a soundbar with an spdif coaxial connection, the problem here is, i have exacly the same connections you have on that LG TV but i don't know where to connect the cable on the TV. I've connected to almost all the connection i found and none worked...
I dont know if my TV a new 32-inch LED LCD Samsung UN32J4000 has a Bluetooth incorporated yet the USB can fit a Bluetooth Dongle would that work and if so could I use my TV remote to change the sound bar Volume.?
Thank you very much - this was extremely helpful - straight to the point. I'm all set with how to connect the new sound bar! Again, thank you very very much!
I have a Nakimachi 9.24.and using the Arc straight to the tv HDMI. My sound is great through my PS4 but through my LG C9 OLED tv the sub sound late or distorted. 🧐🤓🤔 so the CEC will help, or what to look in your tv to support the Nakimachi? Other than that is sounds amazing 😉 just got it like a week ago. I have great WiFi but an I losing blue tooth sound? The subs are running off of it just wondering if that’s the issue. Also If I use an Ethernet cable to the Tv will it perform better through the Nakimachi?
THANK YOU man I never comment on anyone’s videos lol but bruh I’ve been fighting my damn sound bar for over an hour, then I come across your video and boom fixed in literally 15 seconds 😂😂✊🏽✊🏽
Hi Thanks for the video first of all and your efforts I have samsung frame edge 55 And q700a samsung sound bar The first problem is it was dropping sound for what i am playing every single min for seconds I thought the problem is the distance for subwoofer But it wasnit I searched from google I found that i must disable anynet hdmi from tv setting But the sane problem still exists I searched for. Hdmi in sound bar yesterday and i found 2 One is normal And other labeled ( to tv and arc or sth like that ) i plugged hdmi not the one comes with sound bar i dont know where is it . I used the cable comes with samsung frame edge but tv cant get the source of hdmi although i choosed it from sound bar I connect sound bar to wifi by smart things app and i think the problem of dropping has disappeared But until now i dont know how to connect both divices with HDMI
Question: I just received a Yamaha soundbar and a SHU sub... I tried hooking it up to my bedroom TV (Sony A9S Oled 48"), The light's are on on the Sub, I have the sub connected to the Soundbar but there's no sound from the sub. The soundbar plays but not the sub. Suggestions? Thank you Joe
Jonah- Thanks for sharing. I just purchased a 7.1 surround soundbar. Which connection option should I choose to get the full 7.1. I thought optical would be it but it sounds like its not. Thoughts?
Monitor LG 27UK850 - HDMI 2.0 x 2 ( Not aware OF arc ) GPU FE 3060TI - HDMI 2.1 x 1 ( Not aware OF arc ) SOUNDBAR - JBL 2.1 DEEPBASS - HDMI version not known x 3 ( ARC ) i have a PC set up. whats the best connectivity option to get the best clarity of sound and display. is UHD-PRO104 Orei 4K 1x4 HDMI Splitter Duplicater by OREI the solution here ? Will it work ?
I have a 2023 LED C3 65" tv & LG Sp7r Meridian soundbar kit. So the LG soundbar only has a HDMIARC port and a HDMI port. You say I should not use arc port since I'll loss quality on high end notes. So if I plug the HDMI cord from the hdmi soundbar port to TV do I then just plug my bluray dvd player directly into TV since the only hdmi port left on the sound bar is the HDMIArc port. OR, since this TV is a 2023 model, would the ARC HDMI port be able to go up to 7.1 ch vs only 5.1 as you said in video. THANK YOU for your help. :)
Can you help me with tech problem. After installing my new TV (Sony XR75X90L) the sound doesn’t work thru my existing surround sound. The sound works for the cable channels, but the no sounds thru streaming service thru surround sound (the sound work thru TV speakers) My receivers is a Yamaha RX-V863 from 2009.
All righty then. So a couple few years ago I bought a Yamaha ATS-1060 sound bar soon after I bought an LG 55UK6500AUA TV. I couldn’t get it to work and just recently tried again. Using Bluetooth, I could get the test sound to work but the remote wouldn’t set up on either of the 10 possible choices. Nothing worked at all using the HDMI ARC. Whucha think, should I just get an LG soundbar?
Hi, I just purchased a new soundbar(Samsung A550) and I want to connect it via Arc on my TV, but I’m just now noticing my brand new QLED TV only has 2 HDMI ports, that leaves me in kind of a bind. Can I plug whatever HDMI I have to take out in order to plug the soundbar in and put it into my soundbar and it will still function like normal? Like can I plug my firestick into the soundbar and it be completely free from my Tv? That seems weird to me, but I’d love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
A year later.. I have a soundbar from Sony has eArc, have a OLAP TV (it's great but... it sometimes fights with it's SONY Soundbar "friend). I have a few other components like a PS5 connected, a FireCube, and a NS Switch and a few other items. Where should I connecte them through? I'm looking for a hub solution - this is where the devices come in and this produces the sound/best intepretation. I am an application/IT guy and recognize that this a pipe dream based on the various competitive direction, technology advancements, capabilities and such... but I'm just looking to maximize what I have today and look at how to fix/improve the solution and I'm more about more wiring into our home.
I have a hue sync box that everything is connected to in order to have my hue system link up colored lights with whats on screen. Ill be getting a Sonos arc on the 12th and wonder if this is the proper set up. All devices (Playstation 5 and amazon tv.... might not connect amazon tv anymore due to just using PS5 for media also) and then my hue sync box into the Sonos arc HDMI input, then connect another HDMI to the sonos arc HDMI ARC run the cable to my TV's HDMI ARC. Would this be the way to do it for the best experience? Thank you for your time
Hi , wonder if you can help . I've just purchased an LG HOME THEATRE SYSTEM and I have it hooked up to an LG TV . at the original set up I was able to access the speaker setup but as the speaker werent exactly in the position they would finally be placed at I did not adjust any of the volumes but all were working , producing sound. After connecting via HDMI AND OPTICAL , I then found the sound sync option and paired both together and its now showing the LG TV on the theatre unit and confirms sound settings as Bluetooth. Everything is working fine but the rear speakers need to be increased , but I cant get back to the speaker screen . The LG TV remote is now controlling the theatre system and the theatre system remote does not allow me to do anything. How can I get back to setting the speakers up again ? The tv is also set up to a sky q 2 box and the sky remote is set to control the tv and the theatre sound levels . Hope you can help - Thanks - Jay .
Hello, cannot get the sound from my sound bar using an HDMI cable from two channels. Netflix and Prime video . Hardware is Samsung TV and TCL bar 2.1 channel with subwoofer. Both have HDMI ARC ports.
So what if I have an android smart TV (Phillips) that has Dolby Atmos built-in. I also have a soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos (Samsung). So what if I mainly use the TV to stream Netflix, Prime, and TH-cam. So what is the best way to connect the TV to the Sound Bar so that I can get Dolby Atmos? Please let me know
It would be great if it actually told you how to set this up.
That part
Thank you for actually explaining what I was looking for.

very well explained, the audio did not work for me it was because of the Cec you mentioned, thanks
Wow. Dude that was simple. I've had some lip sync issues with optical. Do I just turn off the TV lip sync?
Great video thanks for the advice very clear and concise.
I need to step up my sound game 😸
Now i know why my soundbar doesn't work at hdmi. It's because only support 5.1 channel. But my soundbar is only 2.1 channel. Thanks!

Died suddenly guessing he was jabbed?
earc can passthrough all format ,if you have a 2019 onward model , you are very likely have earc . check your tv specs
This is true, however, most Soundbars don’t support eARC yet. In the future when most Soundbar support eARC this won’t be an issue anymore.
So with eARC there's no downside anymore to connecting everything to the tv?

Use auxiliary cord if you have a 2.0 sound bar. It won't affect the sound quality at all since it's 2 channel

I would suggest muting them, yes. Some will automatically disable them, others you might have to change a setting in the sound menu.
Hi

And q700a samsung sound bar
The first problem is it was dropping sound for what i am playing every single min for seconds

Little Plastic Caps!!! That is the answer! Check the ends of your optical cable people! Tiny plastic covers that need pulled off!!!
Question: I just received a Yamaha soundbar and a SHU sub... I tried hooking it up to my bedroom TV (Sony A9S Oled 48"), The light's are on on the Sub, I have the sub connected to the Soundbar but there's no sound from the sub. The soundbar plays but not the sub.
Suggestions?
Thank you

If you connect it to a 8k tv and you plug your new game system to the 4k soundbar with it decreases your quality of the 8k picture
Thanks for this. Worked perfectly. Now I know what ARC is !
I spent an hour trying to connect but I found your video and completed it one second thank you
If i have arc tv and earc soundbar is it possible to get dolby atmos? Because when i open netflix it just show 5.1
Jonah- Thanks for sharing. I just purchased a 7.1 surround soundbar. Which connection option should I choose to get the full 7.1. I thought optical would be it but it sounds like its not. Thoughts?
HDMI would be the best option for you.
Monitor LG 27UK850 - HDMI 2.0 x 2 ( Not aware OF arc )
GPU FE 3060TI - HDMI 2.1 x 1 ( Not aware OF arc )
SOUNDBAR - JBL 2.1 DEEPBASS - HDMI version not known x 3 ( ARC )
i have a PC set up. whats the best connectivity option to get the best clarity of sound and display.
is UHD-PRO104 Orei 4K 1x4 HDMI Splitter Duplicater by OREI the solution here ? Will it work ?
I have a 2023 LED C3 65" tv & LG Sp7r Meridian soundbar kit. So the LG soundbar only has a HDMIARC port and a HDMI port. You say I should not use arc port since I'll loss quality on high end notes. So if I plug the HDMI cord from the hdmi soundbar port to TV do I then just plug my bluray dvd player directly into TV since the only hdmi port left on the sound bar is the HDMIArc port. OR, since this TV is a 2023 model, would the ARC HDMI port be able to go up to 7.1 ch vs only 5.1 as you said in video. THANK YOU for your help. :)
Can you help me with tech problem.
After installing my new TV (Sony XR75X90L) the sound doesn’t work thru my existing surround sound.
The sound works for the cable channels, but the no sounds thru streaming service thru surround sound (the sound work thru TV speakers)
My receivers is a Yamaha RX-V863 from 2009.
All righty then. So a couple few years ago I bought a Yamaha ATS-1060 sound bar soon after I bought an LG 55UK6500AUA TV. I couldn’t get it to work and just recently tried again. Using Bluetooth, I could get the test sound to work but the remote wouldn’t set up on either of the 10 possible choices. Nothing worked at all using the HDMI ARC. Whucha think, should I just get an LG soundbar?
Hi, I just purchased a new soundbar(Samsung A550) and I want to connect it via Arc on my TV, but I’m just now noticing my brand new QLED TV only has 2 HDMI ports, that leaves me in kind of a bind. Can I plug whatever HDMI I have to take out in order to plug the soundbar in and put it into my soundbar and it will still function like normal? Like can I plug my firestick into the soundbar and it be completely free from my Tv? That seems weird to me, but I’d love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
A year later.. I have a soundbar from Sony has eArc, have a OLAP TV (it's great but... it sometimes fights with it's SONY Soundbar "friend).
I have a few other components like a PS5 connected, a FireCube, and a NS Switch and a few other items. Where should I connecte them through? I'm looking for a hub solution - this is where the devices come in and this produces the sound/best intepretation. I am an application/IT guy and recognize that this a pipe dream based on the various competitive direction, technology advancements, capabilities and such... but I'm just looking to maximize what I have today and look at how to fix/improve the solution and I'm more about more wiring into our home.
I have a hue sync box that everything is connected to in order to have my hue system link up colored lights with whats on screen. Ill be getting a Sonos arc on the 12th and wonder if this is the proper set up.
All devices (Playstation 5 and amazon tv.... might not connect amazon tv anymore due to just using PS5 for media also) and then my hue sync box into the Sonos arc HDMI input, then connect another HDMI to the sonos arc HDMI ARC run the cable to my TV's HDMI ARC. Would this be the way to do it for the best experience? Thank you for your time
Hi , wonder if you can help . I've just purchased an LG HOME THEATRE SYSTEM and I have it hooked up to an LG TV . at the original set up I was able to access the speaker setup but as the speaker werent exactly in the position they would finally be placed at I did not adjust any of the volumes but all were working , producing sound. After connecting via HDMI AND OPTICAL , I then found the sound sync option and paired both together and its now showing the LG TV on the theatre unit and confirms sound settings as Bluetooth. Everything is working fine but the rear speakers need to be increased , but I cant get back to the speaker screen . The LG TV remote is now controlling the theatre system and the theatre system remote does not allow me to do anything. How can I get back to setting the speakers up again ? The tv is also set up to a sky q 2 box and the sky remote is set to control the tv and the theatre sound levels . Hope you can help - Thanks - Jay .
Hello, cannot get the sound from my sound bar using an HDMI cable from two channels. Netflix and Prime video . Hardware is Samsung TV and TCL bar 2.1 channel with subwoofer. Both have HDMI ARC ports.
So what if I have an android smart TV (Phillips) that has Dolby Atmos built-in. I also have a soundbar that supports Dolby Atmos (Samsung). So what if I mainly use the TV to stream Netflix, Prime, and TH-cam. So what is the best way to connect the TV to the Sound Bar so that I can get Dolby Atmos? Please let me know
